Instructions

• ▢
  Preheat the oven to 400°F and spray a 12-cup muffin pan with gluten-free nonstick spray and line with paper liners.
• ▢
  In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, xanthan gum, oats, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Break up any big brown sugar clumps as necessary.
• ▢
  In a medium bowl, beat the eggs. Whisk in the mashed banana, vanilla, oil, and milk. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix well until combined.
